Rumor: Ecclestone!

[Darth_Daver]

All 11?

This sounds too good to be true.

I can't wait to get Christopher Ecclestone and Peter Davidson on-screen together.

 

[Shazam!]

Watch them use stock footage.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Eccleston's name is mentioned 12 times in that story. Was it so hard to copy is and spell it correctly?

 

[Captain Dago]

Nice. Probably too subtle to make the point, though.

 

[Captaindemotion]

I certainly hope Eccleston is back but this isn't the most convincing story I've ever read.

 

[Samurai8472]

Shame they couldn't get Eccleston back but had to settle for a ginger headed irishman named Ecclestone

 

[The Nth Doctor]

This all seems so familiar (sans typo).

You all know Bernie Ecclestone was proved to be a Time Lord at the end of the BBC coverage of the Brazilian Grand Prix last year? (Jake Humphrey was his previous incarnation, and regenerated)...

So there's the anniversary surprise- Bernie is the Valeyard!

You, sir, have just made my blood run cold. That's just evil.

No newsd here - airlock alpha even credits the Birmingham Mail at the start (which is nice of them).

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I can't wait to get Christopher Ecclestone and Peter Davidson on-screen together.

I wish John Pertwee was still alive.

 

[Captaindemotion]

Any news on Paul Megane?

 

[Iamnotspock]

I wish John Pertwee was still alive.

Which, to be fair, was at least his real name.

 

[Saga]

i hope Colon Barker returns!1!

 

[Professor Zoom]

I can't wait to see Thom Baker again.

Airlock Alpha is the same rag that regularly prints tabloid gossip as "news" and gave Star Trek: Nemesis a glowing review upon release, no?

It's worth taking this report with a grain of salt, I think.

 

[Brendan Moody]

Ah, but as already pointed out, in this case Airlock Alpha is merely quoting another source, that well-known bastion of journalistic integrity... the Birmingham Mail.

No reason to impugn their journalistic integrity. But I'm not sure they have a major track record of breaking major showbiz scoops.

To contribute to this thread's piss-take of mixing up actor's names, I would just like to point out a mistake my local newspaper made in an article earlier in the month about those 50th anniversary clooector stamps: they said the First Doctor was played by William Hartnett.

And I'll just finish up with something about David Teninch (which is actually his nickname).
